§ Mr. RAMSAY MacDONALDCan the Prime Minister tell us if any arrangement has been come to about the business on Friday?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI understand it has been arranged through the usual channels that on Friday the necessary business in connection with the Coal Mines Supplementary Estimate shall be treated as formal, and it is hoped that we may obtain the Third Reading of the Appropriation Bill by about three o'clock, after which the Adjournment Motion will be moved.
§ Mr. MacDONALDMay I ask a question of which I have not given private notice, namely, when we are going to have the White Paper about the financial effects of the settlement?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI hope it will be ready to-morrow. I will let the right hon. Gentleman know later in the afternoon. It is in course of preparation now.
§ Mr. MacDONALDI suppose my right hon. Friend is aware that it is very essential we should have it in our hands to-morrow.
§ The PRIME MINISTERAbsolutely.
§ Mr. BUCHANANUntil what hour is it proposed to sit on Friday?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI should propose, obviously, to suspend the Rule, but I hope the various parties in the House will come to some decision to help us, as to what hour they think would be a fitting hour at which to end our proceedings. I do not know whether hon. Members would wish the House to sit until 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock at night, but if an hour can be arrived at by general agreement I propose to insert that hour in a Motion which I shall put down on Friday.
§
Motion made, and Question put,
